He's had a productive season with five picks and three fumble recoveries. Woodson's next stop is Canton where he's sure to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Mon, Dec 21, 2015 08:36:00 PM

Woodson initially suffered a dislocated shoulder Week 1, but he has played through the injury all season. He aggravated the shoulder early against Pittsburgh, but again played through it. He should be fine to face the Vikings next week. Mon, Nov 9, 2015 10:37:00 AM

Raiders SS Charles Woodson (shoulder) is questionable for Week 2 against the Ravens.

Woodson suffered a dislocated shoulder in last week's loss to Cincinnati. He was getting manhandled before the injury and finished Week 1 with PFF's seventh-worst safety grade out of 67 qualifiers. Larry Asante would slide in at strong safety if Woodson has to sit out. Fri, Sep 18, 2015 05:04:00 PM

Nelson (5’11/200) turned pro as a redshirt junior after starting his first two years at Hawaii and final season in Madison, where Nelson led the nation in pass breakups (21) and earned first-team All-Big Ten. Nelson never posted an interception in his college career, however, and ran 4.52 at the Combine. He then tore his meniscus during a pre-draft private workout with the Lions. Nelson is a candidate to "redshirt" his rookie year.

"He doesn’t look close to me at all," were coach Jon Gruden's words on Tuesday. "I’ll leave it at that. He doesn’t look close to me at all." Gruden's tone seemed to indicate he believed Melifonwu should be further along in his rehab. Gruden said just last month Melifonwu's return wasn't far off. The No. 56 overall pick of last year's draft, Melifonwu was limited to five games by injury.
